 * My site isn’t live yet but I’ve been working on editing content that was transferred
   over from Blogger that my designer worked on. I am puzzled though that my YouTube
   videos haven’t transferred. I can see when in the edit mode the Permalink at 
   the top for my video but it doesn’t show up as a video when going to the main
   page.
 * She suggested I embed the code which I tried but the code shows up when I preview.
   I’m sure it’s something that I’m not doing correctly, but if someone could shed
   some light on it for me I’d appreciate it.
 * In Blogger when I wanted to upload one of my YouTube videos I simply went to 
   upload and it offered YouTube. Can WordPress.org do that as well?
 * Looking forward to a reply.

 * I am not familiar with Blogger, but what I use to embed YT videos is the TinyMCE
   Advanced plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/)
 * Where you want your video, click the Insert/edit embedded media icon, select 
   media_dlg.iframe from the Type drop down, paste the YT URL in the File/URL field,
   set the dimensions and click Insert. There it is 🙂
 * Cheers!
